Actually I'm already a bus fan since young, about 6?
When my mom always buys me a Tomica car at NTUC on Hougang Mall 2nd
floor, the current location of where Subway, Soup Restuarant,
Ajisam Ramen, Pizza Hut. etc. lies on now. Disappointed that it was
removed in 2008
.
I would always play the cars [ Worth $3.50 in those times. Now
costs $4.95 ] and draw roads on drawing blocks and play as if I'm
in my own world.
I even ''redesigned'' one of the buses, which is a ISUZU Hi-Decker
bus, into SBS2779A.
Can't believe that. Now I still have it and it lacks a rear door.
LOL! It also bears a ''Quitline'' ad, not the official one, with
both sides skyliners, rear skyliner and full body ad except for the
rear and front. I used it to tell my father to stop smoking. But he
idioticly replied to me that ''Playing Computers waste more money
than Smoking", EVEN when I proved to him what smoking costs roughly
$3000-$5000 a year where computers costs roughly $600-$1700 on
electrical usuage. Told him the consequences of smoking,
nothing.
Those were the times when 325 was constantly spammed with
MkIIs.
Remember the times when it rained, the bus can get stuffy, the rain
splashing over you, and the inevitable experience of opening and
closing a bus window?
But I did not take much notice into Licence Plates, Cameos,
Deployments, Brand of buses, etc.
Until I was 12, I began to rampage Google when I saw a KUB on
325.
Then I saw ''SgWiki'' and ''SgForums'', providing informations on
buses and chatting about buses respectively.
I got interested in how you guys chat about everything, especially
in ''Redeployments'' and ''Cameo Spotting'' forums. And I got more
interested and joined the party.
But NONE, I mean NONE of my classmates are interested in Buses in
anyways as I see.
They are now interested in what seemed to be the stupidest card
game called ''Vanguard'' [ When it advertises before it went
fantanic, I called it ''Vanguard Sheet'' ].
I looked it in a way of wasting money and time. One complete
perfect set, from what my friend says, costs roughly $250. I don't
bother about it.
And slowly understanding how a bus function, how they differ
between SBST and SMRT, Learning about perm stix in SBS buses, here
I am.
I'm a bus fan since Im like 4?
I've did research on this forum since Aug 2011 before
joining.
